COMPARISON OF THEORETICAL RANKINE POWER CYCLE PERFORMANCE DATA FOR 24 WORKING FLUIDS.

Author(s) : DEVOTTA S., HOLLAND F. A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE BOILING TEMPERATURE IN A RANKINE CYCLE POWER PLANT IS LARGELY DETERMINED BY THE TEMPERATURE OF THEAVAILABLE HEAT SUPPLY AND THE GROSS TEMPERATURE DROP BY THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOLANT IN THE CONDENSER. THIS MEANS THAT FOR A GIVEN WORKING FLUID, THE THEORETICAL RANKINE POWER CYCLE EFFICIENCY AND THE PRESSURE RATIO ARE DETERMINED AUTOMATICALLY. OF THE 24 WORKING FLUIDS FOR WHICH COMPREHENSIVE THERMODYNAMIC DATA ARE AVAILABLE, ONLY 18 HAVE CRITICAL TEMPERATURES HIGH ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED FOR USE IN RANKINE CYCLE POWER PLANT WITH A BOILING TEMPERATURE OF 393 K (120 DEG C) AND ONLY SEVEN FOR A BOILING TEMPERATURE OF 473 K (200 DEG C).
